Abstract

Pursuing further the recent methods in the algebraic Hamiltonian approach to gauged WZW models, we apply them to the bosonic SL(2,R) X SU(2)/R^2 model recently investigated by Nappi and Witten. We find the global space and compute the conformally exact metric and dilaton fields to all orders in the 1/k1/k expansion. The semiclassical limit k,kk',k\to \infty of our exact results agree with the lowest order perturbation computation which was done in the Lagrangian formalism. We also discuss the supersymmetric type-II and heterotic versions of this model and verify the non-renormalization of eΦGe^\Phi\sqrt{-G}.
